You can run RISC OS on a Raspberry Pi which is also ARM based.

- vintagedave 1y agoLooks like they’re seeking funding to port to 64-bit: https://www.riscosopen.org/news/articles/2025/03/28/moonshots-initiative-to-secure-the-future-of-the-os https://www.riscosopen.org/news/articles/2025/03/28/moonshot...
- snvzz 1y agoIf they want to guarantee its future, maybe they should consider funding a RISC-V port as well, or instead.
- lproven 1y agoI believe that at one point there was a term in a licence agreement from one of the companies involved that basically prohibited it ever being ported to anything else... but that's long ago. I wrote about the Moonshot effort recently: https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/01/risc_os_open_moonshots/ https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/01/risc_os_open_moonshot... ... And I'm still talking with ROOL about the directions they're examining. The restriction may no longer hold true.
